There is good news for drivers all across New York State. The price of gas continues to drop.

Usually, in the summertime, we see the price of a gallon of gas go up since it takes the gas companies more money to produce the summer blend of gas. Due to high inflation rates, New York State launched a "Gas Tax" Holiday that removed the state gas tax on every gallon of gas sold in the state.

This "Gas Tax" holiday has helped keep the price of a gallon of gas under $5 per gallon and now we are starting to see the average price for a gallon of gas drop every week. Currently, the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gas is $4.56 in New York State, which is around 24 cents more than the national average.

Here is what the average price of gas costs around New York State, according to AAA.

Buffalo - $4.56
Rochester - $4.66
Syracuse - $4.64
Albany - $4.50
Binghamton - $4.60
